How many bikes do you own?

[Buck Masterson]

Huffy Big Daddy
Schwinn Searcher
Late 70's Ross
75 Columbia Ten Speed

Not to mention the 4 BMX's that I built for my sons, and my daughters little princess pixie.

Then there is the parts pile, where I'm sure I could put at least 2 whole bikes together, but they would be uglier than sin! lol

WOW man I haven't seen bars like your western flyer has since I was a kid! Those are SWEET. I had a set just like those on a stingray I had but they were turned around....lol.

 

[rife with bikes]

actually right now they are turned around. I rode the bike like that for like 14 mi and did not like my hands getting numb. I got them for 2.00 at the bikes and strikes show/swap meet in murfreesboro. They cleaned up pretty good. thx,

Sweet list of bmx there. I recently re-acquired my old Huffy Pro thunder from when I was 13. And I also got a Redline Double X, an X-games Wal-mart bike, and a spray-bombed Hoffman. Did have an old Ross Piranha but I traded it off. Also have a loop-tail 'goose that I'm turning into a stretched chopper.

 

[NLCTVWguy]

I knew someday someone was gonna ask. And then I would have to think real hard about my house, and garage, and basement, and backyard, and try not to lose track. The NE-RRB guys who've been over have seen it firsthand... :shock:

[Spokeshave]

You sir are my idol!

Wow ,what a list!

 

[outskirtscustoms]

well that will save some typing on my wish-list, just add a Bluebird, a Harley Davidson, and a few ratty choppers and I'm good.

 

[X-RAY]

i got two full suspension mtbs,a 20"bmx. wife has a hardtail/figid fork mtb i plan to replace soon with something more "comfortable" for her. might have to build it myself. my daughter has a pixie were restoring for her future daughter someday, and her 20" freestyle. my son has an 18" bmx and his his old 16"bmx were building into a trike. i have many plans for rats/choppers/cruisers to build in the future. interestingly, our current bikes are all box store bikes. were not cheap, were just poor. :lol:
the coolest thing about this thread is the diversity of styles of bikes. lots of bmx and mtb along with rats. best part is nobody here puts you down about any bike you have. 8)

My bootlegger bike was built out of a department store Huffy I got on trade and about $10 worth of flea market junk, and $6 to paint it. I probably spent more on the RRB decals than the rest of the bike.... :lol: I've had a lot of complements on it. Only real old bikes I have are an AMF Hercules and a few Shimano 3 speeds. other than that just random junk. I might have 30 bikes but I'd say 9 out of every 10 are junk waiting to be built into something cool or just cheap flipper bikes.

And of course various piles of mechanical junk and countless NOS parts and spares.

*All these bikes are the same type/design with wide fenders 28",1/2" x 1",1/2" wheels and double top tubes, and i would love to learn in witch else places of the world these bikes exist till now(Turkey,India and around the Balkans)

 

[jwm]

I try really hard to keep my fleet limited to the space I have available. Right now I have 10- 8 riders, and two that belonged to my wife, a cheap mountain bike, and a 26" Trek road bike. Both are out of service, and are stuck outside under a tarp.
1950 Schwinn B6
1956 Starlet
1961 MKIV Jaguar
1965 Starlet II
1980 Heavy Duti (my daily rider)
'08 Trek 21 speed comfort bike (wife's daily rider)
'08 Specialized 21 speed comfort bike (loaner, and dust collector)
And my pampered, brat- '05 Spoiler adult (and I use the term loosely) chopper

I intend to sell or give away the wife's old bikes. Maybe make a fixie out of the Trek, and sell it- who knows? My next acquisition will be an old straight bar Schwinn, or middleweight Schwinn girls bike for a custom rat project. If I get another tanker, it will definitely not be a Schwinn. I'd love to get a Color Flow, a Roadmaster, or a Shelby. My dream would be a Hiawatha Fire Arrow.

JWM

That bluebird is gorgeous. If you don't like attention don't ride that bike. :mrgreen:

It is to much fun to ride to let it sit in the garage as a piece of art.
